In this lively summer sesshin talk, Roshi John Tarrant engages students in reflecting on what actually happens as practice deepens during a long retreat.

Like front foot and back foot walking, we get a taste of the light and then are lost again in the darkness.

We reach for a new koan or practice that will open the "right" door.

Seeing our true nature encompasses both the light and the dark.

Let the koan carry you.

"There is not a matter or right or wrong. There is a matter of being here and respecting the quality of being here." — John Tarrant.
